byd seal looks amazing, the only thing I’m not sure on is the infotainment system, but I’m hoping by 2030 when I get my next EV the tech will have come along quite nicely
I use Android Auto so the “infotainment” system is pretty much just a screen for Android Auto to me. I’m sure it works fine under there though.
I have found that being slightly racist and doing a bit of a Chinese accent makes the BYD voice assistant understand me better 😬 I do not do this when other people are in the car because… well, obvious reasons.
The idea of like having to put on a comedicly overwrought accent to make a machine understand you is 👌
I’ve tried this to good effect before when I got my current motorbike helmet headset - the voice commands on default settings worked much better when hamming it up with an American accent like one was trying to audition for a part in a Western. Luckily though I ended up finding out that Cardo also trained a British accent option in the settings, and that works a lot better if you want to talk like a normal person.
I’ve got no need or interest in a dual cab, but we’ve got a BYD Seal and love it.
Chinese manufacturers are kicking arse, and making the usual brands look antiquated and overpriced.
Some of the Chinese EVs are impressive. I think a number of European and US brands are in denial.
Some are in big trouble and won’t make it.

I want this to be true so bad. The idea of like having to put on a comedicly overwrought accent to make a machine understand you is 👌

I do this already with American accents and Google
